Royal egg custard

How to make it

1. 1

   Whisk the egg mixture

   Whisk the eggs with the milk, strain through a sieve and add a little salt.

2. 2

   Steam in a water bath

   Pour the mixture into a mould with a tight-fitting lid. Place the mould in a flat-bottomed pot of boiling water for about 1 hour. The water should be kept at just below boiling point, not boiling.

3. 3

   Cut and serve

   When the custard is cold, carefully cut it into large cubes with a sharp knife. Serve in clear or brown soup.
